Open or closed hyd. system

2458n · Aug 9, 2012

I am considering the purchase of a late 70's White 2-60 tractor it comes with a 1730 front loader. Will I be able to use this with a open-centered 750 arps 3pt. back hoe? What do I need to know?

You could perhaps use a PTO pump with the BH.

J.J. thanks for the reply. I did buy that tractor tonight will pick it up in the morning. The tractor has a hyd pump mounted right above the 540 pto shaft. This is used to power the front loader. The system seems self contained wth a reserve oil tank and filter on the loaders right hand side frame. On the back axle is two hyd quick connects. These appear to be plumbed to the transmission. Everything is clear as mud in my mind. Buyers remorse and excitement of a new project at the same time.

Sounds like you possible have rear remotes. THose could be used to plumb the backhoe.
